Family Life Training


This week, from Monday through Thursday, 16 couples attended a training class with Family Life International. Leonel and Miriam Motta, and Gabe presented the training.
John and Shirley Wind from Merida were also with us during the training.
We learned how to give "Home Builder" Bible studies and what is needed to form a Family Ministry team here in Tijuana.
We worked on several group projects aimed at forming a vision and plan for the future. Please pray with us that the Bible studies that are planned will be a blessing to the couples who attend, and that as a group we would have a vision to promote healthy families in Tijuana.

Weekend to Remember




This past Friday and Saturday, 61 couples attended a marriage conference "Weekend to Remember" given by Leonel and Miriam Motta with Family Life Int. We had 61 couples attend and all were blessed. Of the people attending, 10 prayed to receive the Lord, 81 prayed to give lordship of their life to the Holy Spirit, 69 renewed their commitment with God and their family, and 6 received assurance of salvation or lordship of Christ. 15 of the couples are also attending a training course this week with the goal of starting a family ministry in their churches and city wide in Tijuana. Please pray for these key couples that they would be encouraged to help others.

Agua Viva beach outing





Last Sunday, the mission "Agua Viva" had its first church outing. After the morning service we all went to a beach between Tijuana and Ensenada. The weather has been hot, in the 90's most days, but when we first got to the beach it was foggy and cold. Soon the fog burned off and we enjoyed a nice afternoon. We ate a picnic lunch, some brave kids went into the cold water, and others played soccer. We continue to develop a sense of fellowship at church. Please continue to pray for this new mission, the regular attenders, and visitors.
